> My two lower front teeth constantly have a feeling in them. An ache or soemthing. Im obsessing over it maybe? I seem to have lockjaw or something too. Maybe some grinding of the teeth also. I feel like my teeth are going to fall out.
> On effexor I had terrbile grinding of the teeth. I dreamed a few nights about my teeth falling out. I spit them all in a sink and felt so terrible and felt the pain and emotions like it was real.
> I look in the mirror and I think my teeth have moved. (distortion?) Ahhh so stressful sometimes. I hope this passes.


What are you taking the Luvox for, OCD or depression ?

In any case, if you're having this in a non-dream state its called bruxism, grinding of teeth, which can occur even if you aren't taking medication due to anxiety.


A night guard would help eliminate this discomfort, a professional one made by a dentist is much more durable and comfortable than the OTC kits which in a pinch may help until you can get one from a dentist but doesn't measure up to the quality.

Have you discussed this side effect with your doctor ? I mean if the Luvox is still working well for you, you might want to continue on, it doesn't necessarily mean anything in particular and as noted a night mouth guard would help, but if its intolerable there are other SSRIs. Then again you also noted it on Effexor, so you may be sensitive to this reaction.
